    Cones of 2023

    Thank you for the context, because the map as it stands looks like it's making a beeline for Florida and it's not. This one is more Sandy than Andrew. Friends on the east coast, make preparations now (especially if you're in an area that floods easily).

    So we adopted a baby

    Leylanny. We Frankensteined her name from parts of all our other kids' names. Turns out the name we made up exists. It's an alternate spelling of Leilani, which is Hawaiian and means "Heavenly garland of flowers" or "Royal child." So basically we named her Princess.

  4. Gotta admit, I didn't think this would be hard. The current series runs on a major network. The original series that inspired it ran on a different major network if I recall correctly. Burt Reynolds recommended a promising young actor to a starring role. The producer accepted it. That actor was later lead on two fairly successful series (popular and critically praised but not terribly long lasting). The producer from this series later cast the same actor in a reboot of The Love Boat, which did not do as well.
  5. Bill Murray it is. Next round would have been better known roles, but Spackler was the best known of that bunch. Jeff Slater was his character in Tootsie, and Murray Heiss was his character in the female-driven Ghostbusters movie.
  6. Larry Darrell (this was before the Newhart series and probably coincidental) Jeff Slater, Carl Spackler
  7. No one noticed my "Who?" post was a hint. Star Lord, man. Dave Chappelle, Colm Meany, Ving Rhames
  8. Tales from the Crypt had theme music? I'll have to take your word for it. :) No, not an anthology series
  9. I just didn't want to be up on too many threads. Sigh. Guardians of the Galaxy

    So we adopted a baby

    My wife and I adopted a baby girl this week. She's utterly priceless. 10 months old. She came to us in foster care, premature, 2 weeks old. Then she got RSV and nearly died. Mom never showed up. Neither did any other relative. Fast forward and the adoption was final yesterday. We are over the moon.

  14. * This series lasted a season and a half (37 episodes total), but was somehow able to inspire a spinoff movie and a remake TV series that has, to date, lasted six seasons and will start its seventh once this damn writers' strike is over. * Maybe it was the catchy theme music, which hit number one on the Billboard chart halfway through its first season. * It wasn't canceled because of bad ratings. It was canceled because people complained it was too violent. * Both the movie and the new series make use of the same theme music. But honestly, how could they not? Ignoring it would be life having a new Twilight Zone with theme music by Danny Elfman.
  15. Memory, from Cats, by Streisand and about a brazillion other people. You're up, WordWolf!
